Synopsis:
Kanchana is about a spirit and its thirst for vengeance; well, we all knew that, didn’t we. No surprises there. Raghava Lawrence reprises the role of the constantly terrified young man from Muni; we know what to expect here too. The novelty of seeing a hero as a coward wears off very soon because we have already seen it in Muni. But, Kanchana ends its similarities with Muni with these minimal points. All other aspects of the film are original. The plots of most scary films carry a flashback which details the reasons for the spirit lingering on in the world of humans even after death. It is this flashback which earns sympathy or wrath of the audience for the spirit and lends credence to the entire story of vengeance. Full credit to the makers of Kanchana for putting in substance and message into the flashback which takes the movie a notch above hotchpotch horror films. Much else about the plot cannot be revealed here because, being a suspenseful horror flick, they might really be spoilers for those who want to catch up with the film in theaters.
